When I hear people speaking bad about Windows programmers, I remember the '70s when we used to say that Hollywood movies where stupid films, compared to European or Asian.

It may be true that all as a whole is like this, but one should never generalize on it.

Several American film directors, do real masterpieces. And their only existence should erase any generalization out.

What I recognize is that most good programmers learn the basics from other operating systems.And it has nothing to do with a commercial idea. It happens because no one is able to leave happy to all types of users, and windows handles very well the comsuming audience. And when people wants something else more than a product they have to search in other operating systems.
